Tea And Sympathy

Fare thee well
 Tradin' all our words for tea and sympathy
 Wonder why we tried, for things could never be
 Play our hearts' lament like an unrehearsed symphony
 Not intend
 To leave this castle full of empty rooms
 Our love the captive in the tower never rescued
 And all our victory songs seem to be playing out of tune
 'Cause it's not the way that it has to be
 Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy, no
 And it's not the way that it has to be
 You begin
 All your words fall to the floor and break like china cups
 And a waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up
 I reach for my tea, slowly drink in
 'Cause it's not the way that it has to be
 Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy, no
 And it's not the way that it has to be
 Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
 (Don't trade, yeah)
 (Don't trade)
 (Don't trade)
 (Don't trade, ah)
 Fare thee well
 The words, the bag of leaves that fill my head
 I could taste the bitterness and call the waitress instead
 'Cause she holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two
 'Cause it's not the way that it has to be
 Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy, no
 And it's not the way that it has to be
 Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
 And it's not the way that it has to be
 Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy, no
 'Cause it's not the way that it has to be
 Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
 Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
 (Don't trade us for tea and sympathy)
 Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
 We can work it out
 Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
 (Don't trade us for tea and sympathy)
 Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
 We can work it out
 (Yeah, oh)
 We can work it out
